RYNEK

It dates back to the medieval period (1292) and is at the heart of the checkerboard plan characteristic of German town planning at the time. A total of ten perpendicular streets flow into its square. The Rynek is uniformly in a not-so-old Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Baroque style, which is the consequence of the fire that struck the city in the 19th century. No. 2, on the square, is the only building that has retained its original appearance. The 19th-century town hall is the centerpiece of the reconstructed square.
